"GIVE WASTE A SECOND SERVE" – that's the Balls Unlimited . Tennis balls have played a central role in this Bavarian family business since its founding in 2006, as the company produces exclusively tennis balls. These are manufactured either to order or under their own Balls Unlimited brand. With the arrival of the two sons, Tobias and Thilo, in 2023, the company has placed particular emphasis on sustainability. This led to the creation of their first sustainable tennis ball: the Code Planet . Forty percent of the ball's core is made from recycled tires, which not only "upcycles" the tires themselves but also reduces the overall use of plantation rubber. I had the opportunity Tobias Papenfuhs , one of the three managing directors, and wanted to know all about him: how the idea for the Code Planet came about, the challenges involved in its development, market launch, and successful ITF certification, and much more. And of course, Tobias also shared his favorite tennis vacation destination. All that remains for me to say is: FIRST SERVE, Tobias!
